Hearing Tian Yilong's question, Zhou Faming didn't react for a while, not that he couldn't answer this question, but that this question was too much, of course, based on the other party's background, it was understandable to ask this kind of question. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"A small group of elites can, if a large army dares to do this... Tsk, it's a dead end. Zhou Faming said, "Don't say anything else, what should I do with the weight of grain and grass?" What to do with siege engines? ”

Without waiting for Tian Yilong to answer, Zhou Faming began to explain, the so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and the large army consumed a lot of grain and grass.

If you have to take a remote mountain road, the things that the soldiers carry with them cannot be too heavy, so there will not be much rations, and it will only be five or six days at most.

Even if it is successfully over the mountain, it is not good, unless the general of the defenders of the other city is a fool and flees when he sees the enemy army coming, otherwise the strong wall and Qingye will defend the city to the death, unless the road is taken and the grain and grass are transported, or where can the army that came over the mountain find food.

Not to mention that if there is no baggage, even the siege equipment cannot be built, and it is delayed for a few days, and I am dizzy with hunger, and everything will be finished as soon as the other party's reinforcements come.

"One of the so-called battlegrounds for soldiers is the grain road, and if the grain road cannot be guaranteed, then any battle is empty talk."

"Oh..."Tian Yilong seems to understand, he is different from people like Zhou Faming, no one teaches him how to march and fight, so the general impression of fighting is that there are many soldiers by personal bravery.

Zhou Faming gave another example: the Yangtze River attack and defense.

The Yangtze River starts from the Three Gorges to the downstream into the sea for more than 2,000 miles, and the riverbank also stretches for more than 2,000 miles.

Quite simply, this involves the transfer of grain and grass and the deployment of troops.

A certain general of the Northern Army had a whim, and before the Southern Dynasty Navy Division reacted, he led tens of thousands of troops to choose a remote south bank to land, then the problem followed: this is not a traditional ferry, so there may be no ready-made roads within a radius of tens or hundreds of miles.

With a large swamp, barren beach, reed pools, lakes, and small rivers, how can your soldiers move to attack the cities of the Southern Dynasty?

Then the river is full of mud, and it takes a lot of time to bring those heavy grain and grass ashore, and then the problem is even greater, because there is no road and it cannot be transported, why not open a road to get out?

Just kidding! By the time your tens of thousands of troops have finally opened a road and walked to the official road with great difficulty, the southern army has gathered forces and is waiting for you to die.

Want to withdraw? The Southern Army Navy blocked the river and burned all your boats, and you still want to leave?

Unless it is a surprise attack on the city by the river, but if you are not careful, it will be over, after all, the sailors of the southern army are not vegetarians, and they dare to cross south without defeating the sailors, which is almost the same as looking for death.

Well, you tossed for months to open the road, repelled the Southern Army's naval division, land soldiers and horses, and then successfully besieged the city with great difficulty, and then the rainy season came.

The rainy season in Jiangnan is not a joke, the continuous rain is not good for half a month, the bowstring is soft and cannot be used in rainy days, so it can only wait for the battle, and the camp will be flooded if you are not careful.

The besieging army was drenched in rain outside the city, not to mention food, grass, and clothing, and even people were moldy.

For the idea of landing casually, tens of thousands of troops fell into the south of the Yangtze River and then the whole army was wiped out, which is a tragic word.

Therefore, the attack and defense on both sides of the Yangtze River, in addition to the decisive battle of the naval division, revolves around those ferries and estuaries, and the battle on the front line of the Yellow River also revolves around several ferries.

Of course, the Yellow River is not as wide as the Yangtze River, you can pull a pontoon bridge on the river, and it will freeze again in winter, and then the cavalry of the Northern Army will cross the river on ice, and everything will be finished, they can bypass the stronghold of the Southern Army and attack all the way to the south.

In that year, the Song army Yuanjia Northern Expedition hit the Yellow River, Tuoba Buddha led the cavalry-based Wei army to the south, directly stepped on the ice across the Yellow River and then rushed all the way to the Yangtze River, the Liu Song Jiangbei land scourge and then returned home, the Song army in Henan could only be trapped in the stronghold, watching the Wei army burn and loot but did not dare to fight.

The cavalry of the Southern Army is not powerful, how miserable it is.

"Who is the Tuoba Buddha?" Tian Yilong didn't understand the person Zhou Faming was talking about at all.

"Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao, the small character Buddha." Yu Wenwen replied, he was a little helpless about Tian Yilong's poor level of knowledge.

In this era, knowledge is monopolized, whether it is economics or military science, most of the knowledge is monopolized by the wealthy and powerful families, and the teacher needs to explain the difficulties to read, and to hire the teacher has to spend money, and to study has to pay tuition.

You also have to bring your own pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which costs money, and it costs a lot of money, because paper is very expensive, and books are not cheap.

To learn how to lead troops to fight, it is necessary to rely on people to teach experience, otherwise you will have to pay the price of your life to experience it yourself.

How to march, camp, arrange, sentry, survey the terrain, and manage the soldiers, these knowledge are not taught in the classroom, and only the gate lords or successive generals will be passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, there is another way: self-taught. Survive the bloody battles, and then you have to sum up the lessons and lessons, serve in the army for decades, and use human blood to condense knowledge.

Then it is very likely that you will meet a bullshit prison army, forcing you and your subordinates to go to a dead end, a soldier from a civilian background, it is even more difficult to climb to a high position with military exploits, without family support, without clan help, and even the tribe is not enough.

Without the trilogy, it is impossible to suppress those soldiers and ruffians, and mutinies and retreats from the battle are commonplace, which is also one of the reasons why the trilogy is prevalent.

So Yu Wenwen decided to change the status quo, just as he didn't like the generals of the Hulin Army, he didn't like the generals under his command to not know a single big character, they couldn't read the military book, they couldn't sum up their experience, and they didn't understand simple arithmetic.

A soldier consumes seven liters of food a day, and a building consumes 300 soldiers, so how much does the building consume food in a month?

Can't figure it out?

The large army marched about 40 miles on the day of the opening of the baggage, and 400 miles from Bazhou to Anzhou, how many days of food did a thousand people need to carry?

Can't count it out? Let's play with eggs!

Yu Wenwen became angry when he thought of this, and he didn't know how much food to bring with his troops, this is the rhythm of being killed by the quartermaster sooner or later.

After the battle, a summary meeting was held, babbling and saying that they could not understand the essentials for a long time, what the experience of the battle was, what the lessons were, how the advantages should be improved, or how the shortcomings could be avoided, and nothing could be said clearly.

Without the ability to learn, where is the room for growth?

Therefore, Yu Wenwen asked the generals of the Hulin Army to be able to read and write, and also to be able to do arithmetic, and if they have problems reading military books, they must at least be able to think independently, or communicate and discuss with others, which all need to be 'literate'.

Not only that, but also be able to read and write official documents and military orders, so as not to be fooled by the ghostwriter and not know it.

Just as he was thinking, the Son of Heaven drove slowly forward, Yuwenwen beckoned his entourage to follow up, looked at the stretching Taihang Mountains in the west, and then galloped away with a whip.

'Jingcheng, the east exit is the boundary of Shijiazhuang in later generations, Shijiazhuang Zhao... Changshan Zhao Zilong...'

。。。。。。

Taihang Mountain, from the north to the south, the mountains and mountains are almost uninterrupted, its eastern foot is particularly steep, as difficult to climb as the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains, so the moat almost cuts off the traffic of the east and west feet.

The so-called road of heaven and earth, there is also an east-west rift valley in the Taihang Mountains, which provides a natural channel for the exchange between the east and west of the mountain range.

There is a tributary of the Hutuo River, the Mianhe River, which flows out across the fault valley, and its pass along the river is "Jingcheng", that is, the fifth Taihang River.

From the east of Jingcheng out of Taihang Mountain, it is an important town in Hebei Zhending, and now belongs to Changshan County, Hengzhou, Zhou State; Jingcheng west out of Taihang Mountain, is the northern city of Jinyang, now belongs to the Sui State and Taiyuan County.

The stone walls on both sides of Jingcheng are steep and narrow, the car can not be square, the riding can not be parallel, it is difficult to walk, but where there is a war between Jin and Hebei, the east and west sides of Taihang Mountain march more than here.

There is Jingcheng Mountain at the exit of the eastern section of Jingcheng, there is Tumen Pass on the mountain, also known as Jingcheng Pass, which is under the jurisdiction of Jingcheng of Zhending County of Hengzhou of Zhou State, this is about the setting of the Han Dynasty, and the Huguan of Baicheng in the south, the Tianjing Pass of Taihang Chengcheng is called "Shangdang Sanguan".

In view of this, the Zhou State deployed heavy troops at the Tumen Pass at the mouth of the Jing Cheng to strictly prevent the Sui army in the west of the Jing Cheng from sneaking up along the Jing Cheng, and then went east into the Hebei boundary, and when the Zhou army was ready, it could also start from here to advance westward, break into the border of Bingzhou and attack Jinyang directly.

Jingcheng is also known as the ancient road of Qinhuang, when Qin Shi Huang died of illness in Hebei during his eastern tour, his body is from Jingcheng into Jinyang, and then go to Yanmen, Yunzhong into Jiuyuan, and finally return to Xianyang from Jiuyuan to Ganquan straight road.

More than 700 years ago, there was a big battle in Jingcheng, which was the battle of Jingcheng, also known as the "Battle of the Backwater", when the Han army led by Han Xin marched eastward from Jingcheng to attack the Zhao State on the border of Hebei.

There is a north-south flow of water to the west of the mouth of the well, Han Xin led the newly trained Han army to cross to the east and then lined up with his back to the river, and the Zhao army saw this and laughed at the Han generals for not knowing the soldiers, and actually put the soldiers to death.

The Zhao army poured out all its strength to attack, and the Han army soldiers had no way to retreat and fought back, and finally repelled the Zhao army, and at this time the partial division sent by Han Xin had taken the Jingchengkou, and the Zhao army in a dilemma could only surrender.

In view of this, the defenders of Jingchengkou in the past dynasties are no longer easy to attack, they only need to defend the pass to withstand the offensive of the enemy army from the west, and the opponent's army can only retreat when the army's food is exhausted, and the Zhou army is also adhering to this 'tradition', and the main force of the defenders is gathered in Jingchengguan.

As long as the Jingcheng Pass is held, then even if a small group of Sui troops take other paths to climb the mountain, their large army will still be blocked in the narrow mountain road of Jingcheng and cannot move.

There were no backup soldiers and horses, no grain and grass, and the small Sui army that came over the mountains could not set off the wind and waves.

The autumn wind is bleak, the wild geese that go south for the winter sweep over the Jingcheng Mountain, and among the mountains on its north side, a group of people are climbing the mountain from west to east, they are dressed in cloth clothes but carry weapons and dry food, suddenly one of them accidentally stumbled, wailing and falling down the cliff and breaking his bones.

"Don't look at it, keep going!"

"General, the mountain road is slippery after the autumn rain, if you rush too quickly, I'm afraid..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of! Military law is like a mountain, our army must go around to the back of Jingcheng Pass as scheduled, if the deadline does not come, no one can afford to miss the army's itinerary! (To be continued.) )
